My current work addresses avant-garde literature in Vancouver from 1961 to 1975, exploring the heteroglossic aesthetic and political communities that were active in the city during that time: including, particularly, visual poetics, surrealist modalities, Marxisms, and the lingering legacy of Modernism.
